| Description | Kluyveromyces polysporus (syn. Vanderwaltozyma polyspora) is a genus of the ascomycetous yeasts found in the family Saccharomycetaceae. The Genome compatibility and mating compatibility of Kluyveromyces is well defined. Among yeasts that have experienced whole-genome duplication (WGD), Kluyveromyces polysporus represents the most distant lineage from the economically important yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Analyses shows that the two species diverged soon after the WGD event, however the genomes of the two species have independently evolved to a similar size (5,652 protein-coding genes in K. polysporus) and around half of their single-copy genes are paralogs formed by the WGD. |
